Arbetskraftsförsörjning i offentlig sektor : En studie av strategisk kompetensförsörjning

The study was conducted at a business in the social service. The purpose was to examine how the business works with human resource planning. In order to answer the purpose two questions was formulated, which human resource planning strategy does the business use? And, how do businesses need to act according to the theory of strategic manpower to achieve human resource planning? Survey data collection was done through a qualitative research design, where interviews with five employees in the business took place.The study shows that the business is using a own made strategy in order to achieve human resource planning. The strategy consists of two steps, in step one they do an background analysis and step two a needs analysis where a goal- and responsibility description are designed and then a set of requirements. The business strategy has been compared to another strategy for human resource planning and several similarities between the strategies were found. To take advantage of, and to inventory employees competencies the business use performance reviews and a custom designed computer system. To develop their employees the business uses the strategy of formal learning, in form of courses and lectures. The business also think it is important that individuals themselves are responsible for their own professional development and believe that employees learn a lot from each other in their daily work. The study shows that the organization has deficiencies in terms of taking advantage of skills and capabilities of the employees who leave the organization.The study also shows that the business is experiencing some anxiety about the future in terms of finding skilled labor. Concerns are based primarily on retirements, that people are not interested in working in their professional fields and a new law, the law on freedom of choice in health care, which will mean competition from private companies for both employees and customers.Validerat; 20120629 (anonymous
